PRIVACY POLICY- 48 CARS

(Last updated date: 11/05/2025)

1. Introduction

Welcome to 48 Cars. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use our services in the United States, primarily focused on connecting you with partner car dealerships.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you provide to us directly. This may include:

  • Identifiers: Such as your name, phone number, email address, and potentially postal address if you provide it.
  • Commercial Information: Information about your vehicle needs, preferences, and desired financing terms that you provide to help us understand your profile.
  • Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information: Information about your interaction with our website (e.g., pages visited, time on site) collected automatically via cookies and tracking technologies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following business purposes:

  • To match you with suitable car dealerships within our network based on the information you provide.
  • To facilitate the introduction and sharing of your information with these partner dealerships.
  • To communicate with you regarding your request and our services.
  • To improve our website and services.
  • For internal administrative purposes.

4. How We Share Your Information

Our core service involves connecting you with car dealerships. Therefore, we share your personal information with third-party car dealerships that are our business partners.

We share your information (including your name, phone number, email address, and details about your vehicle and financing needs) with one or more dealerships in our network to enable them to contact you and assist you with your potential vehicle purchase or financing. By providing your information and agreeing to this policy, you explicitly consent to this sharing for this specific purpose.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent, except as described herein.

5. “Selling” Your Personal Information

Some U.S. state privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), define “selling” personal information broadly. While we do not exchange your personal information for monetary consideration in the traditional sense, the compensation we receive from dealerships for referring potential customers may be considered a “sale” under these laws.

By using our services and providing your information, you understand and agree that we may share your information with our partner dealerships in a way that could be considered a “sale” under applicable state law.

6. Your State Privacy Rights (e.g., California CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on the U.S. state where you reside, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. For example, if you are a California resident, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
  • Request deletion of your personal information.
  • Request to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information.
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these or other potential state-specific rights, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

7. Our Role as Intermediaries

Please understand that 48 Cars is a vehicle brokerage and referral service, not a car dealership or a financial institution. We do not sell vehicles directly, we do not own vehicle inventory, we do not provide financing, and we do not make credit decisions. Our service is limited to connecting you with dealerships that can offer these services. The dealerships compensate us for successful referrals.

8. Third-Party Dealerships’ Privacy Policies

Once we share your information with a partner dealership, their handling of your personal information will be governed by their own privacy policy and practices. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any dealership you interact with directly. We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to collect information about your Browse activities, improve your user experience, and understand how our services are used. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
